Game tech stuff Thread - Q developer group

This is where you post stuff about coding, modeling, models engines... and all that other stuff you think fits into this...

Image of a ball and chain weapon I've been modeling will probably darken the ball some add some rust splotches and more chain links to chain

remeber that this is a game thats goin to be like real life so make wepons that are common rather than a ball and chain we can still use other things but you get the point

aye got it was just taking household items i got around my house and trying to think how to turn them into a weapon the ball idea came from a 4oz fishing weight i used for deep sea fishing with enough force or spin it could easily do damage to someones head.. but what are you thinking we will need cause i have shotguns and hunting rifles i can try and model as well as maul and a chain saw

list
paintings
kitchen knives
combat knives (swords too)
computers
pots and pans
TVs
weights
speekers
rocks
tools (wrenchs, exacto knife, saws, hand saw,.......)
doors
and on
any thing that can be used as a wepon

Edited by: spik330

k will work on some and some improvised weapons that can be crafted or modified from real life stuff like a portable nail gun and makeshift spear out of a broom handle.

any form of wepon that can move ex ball and chain make shere you can put ragdoll on it or a attack animation

here's completed ball and chain weapon model version one will do a spiked version later on if we have time and will put a rag doll on it tomorrow sometime

Stuff you see in your surroundings can also be used to block your territory, not only for attacking purpose. Like tables,closets, chairs. Also small things in your surroundings can be thrown to the zombies, like encyclopedias, dishes, etc. All the non-attack purpose items you see in your surroundings can still be used to attack someone.

Current Baseball Bat ... can texture it in wood or metal or have one of each up to you guys , and will probably put some type of grip or tape around handle....

bottom of the haldle looks kinda big

missed my attention completely thanks for pointing it out ill do a new pic with a side by side comparison when i' am done remodeling handle.

Before

After

completed bat - unless someone know how to put a cool logo on bat someplace i can hand files over to

Sword Pictures

Edge

Hilt

Side

- a few flaws with this model with the hilt circular grip area meeting the base where sword connects , and with the blade where it connects into hilt will re work these tomorrow and will curve blade as well.

Looks good.

Remember, it's gonna be top-down, so there's no need for super detailed models, these look just fine in the level of detail and no one will notice a small mistake in the model...

new sword hilt with grip

still semi modeling hilt finishing off grip than will add the hand guard after that's done... quick question do we want horse hair or something coming out end of pommel of the sword?

Sword - finished design unless someone spots some work that needs attention

Some of those pics aren't loading for me, I'll edit your rights in the group so you can upload stuff on the group page, I encourage everyone to "watch" the group for info when anything new is uploaded...

k uploaded every complete model for the game I've done so far to group page.

Swords Hilt-Blade edge size seems a bit off, but that may be because of the black background...

ya hilt a bit off from blade ill work on fixing that... we doing any food items or anything with food and drink?

Put 3 knife pictures up I am considering modeling on group page when swords done if you guys coulld like and voted on one to model i'll begin to work on that within a few days

Each picture has a description with each knifes model name just click on picture and post what one you think should be modeled here.

K submitted a new pic of sword with a redesigned hilt to match blade better.

There probably will be food objects in-game, most of them will be either canned food, or boxes of food (cereal), those are simple models and the texture will be placed later on, other than that, basic furniture like chairs tables and broken versions of those will probably be seen and some generic stuff, trash cans, dumpsters, lamp posts and a lot more...

on a different subject, I would like to know from you who have had experience with Unity Engine, is it possible making our own software for level-making, I'm thinking of the Elder Scrolls series and their TES Construction Set if any of you are familiar with that.

not familiar with that i know that you can import textures and stuff from maya or blender if we had to could model level from ground up and come with some map or layout and try to model each level or room that way and import it in.. would take a long time tho. we really need more of story before we can go into level making and background info on the setting and town we want to place it in first to make it. not to mention if we do have quests for survivors ect we need to know exactly what they need to make sure we get those models done.

after we have the level made we can make multiple leveks and link them through zones by coding after its in unity.

posted a pic of a cola bottle need someone to come up with a label for it and what color of soda we want it to be

Edited by: duncan_macleod08

Got it from google pics, maybe this kind of soda label? And the color of the soda can be dark-greenish with a bit of brown.
And the weapons look good, only the chain and ball thing im a bit unhappy of. The ball needs to be a bit bigger, and there needs to be one with spikes (an upgraded version of the regular one)

K ill make ball bigger on the ball and chain weapon and make one with spikes.. cool label ill upload picture of cola bottle to group site when its all done

Zombie Cola - image uploaded to group page edited the labels color slightly with gimp

Yeah that looks like zombie coke alright

pics of a beer bottle modeled uploaded to group page i made will do broken bottles to go with the cola and beer bottle as well as some food items soon

a hotdog pic has been added as well will do some french fries and
onion rings and a combo meal made with the hot dog and fries or dog and
o-ring
also can i have you guys do me a favor and send me a ref picture of
anything you want modeled to my e-mail so i can go from one thing to the
next and don't just get a bunch of stuff i want in the game and nothing
else. email is duncan_macleod08@yahoo.com
just put ref pictures in subject line - weapons, furniture , food , for
example of a ref picture you will need look on group page there is three
knife ref pictures uploaded there also post a comment on the picture
there you think should be modeled.
